lang.Merge	Merge missing translations from other languages.			2018-03-16	functions	multilingual	docs parent functions	false	lang.Merge FROM TO				false	false

As an example:

{{ $pages := .Site.RegularPages | lang.Merge $frSite.RegularPages | lang.Merge $enSite.RegularPages }}

Will "fill in the gaps" in the current site with, from left to right, content from the French site, and lastly the English.

A more practical example is to fill in the missing translations for the "minority languages" with content from the main language:

 {{ $pages := .Site.RegularPages }}
 {{ .Scratch.Set "pages" $pages }}
 {{ $mainSite := .Sites.First }}
 {{ if ne $mainSite .Site }}
    {{ .Scratch.Set "pages" ($pages | lang.Merge $mainSite.RegularPages) }}
 {{ end }}
 {{ $pages := .Scratch.Get "pages" }}
